Weekend Video

This isn’t pleasant, but it’s one of the more remarkable videos I’ve seen. It’s brilliantly put together – the way the tension mounts. And the punch-line (forgive the pun) is one of the more visceral anti-violence messages I’ve seen. Watch, but please don’t enjoy too much!

I'll try to replace it tomorrow with something more Valentine appropriate.

You can read whatever you want into it. For me, it was a shocking and surprising look at how horribly the face distorts on the impact of a punch. If it had been only women I would not have posted it. I did not read any racial subtext into it.

"If only all blogs were as life-affirming and tender-hearted as that of gallerist James Danziger. Whether his focus falls on the work of an individual artist or a particular theme, The Year in Pictures is compulsive reading."
